Build quality and features of UGreen HiTune X5 earphones
UGreen HiTune X5 comes with a sleek dark blue case that looks very sporty and glossy. The case is quite compact, measuring about 6x4x2.5 cm, making it easy to slip into a pocket without bulging. The build quality of the case is excellent – it has sturdy hinges and closes with a satisfying snap. You can also see 3 charging indicator lights on the outside of the case.
As for the earphones, UGreen HiTune X5 has a rather unique shape with an oval body and a glossy finish. The touch surface of the earphones features beautiful blue dots. The build quality is also quite good, and it is rated IPX5 for water resistance.
Control mechanism
UGreen HiTune X5 opts for touch controls to manage media and calls. The touch controls can handle everything from play/pause, volume adjustment, skipping tracks, to answering calls. The touch surface is quite large for easy operation, although this also means you might accidentally touch it and execute a command unintentionally.
Additionally, there's a 'Gaming Mode' purportedly reducing latency to 70ms. You can activate this mode through four taps.
Battery Life
UGreen HiTune X5 is rated to provide 7 hours of playtime per full charge, which is quite remarkable. You can get an additional 28 hours with the charging case.
The charging process is done via USB-C on the back of the case. It would be fantastic if it supported wireless charging, but honestly at this price point, that's almost impossible.
Fit
UGreen HiTune X5 offers a comfortable and lightweight fit that seems to depend on the ear tips you use. UGreen provides 4 pairs of ear tips in different sizes, so you'll likely find a pair that fits you well. The HiTune X5 has an oval shape, thin on the top and wider on the bottom, which looks quite peculiar but fits excellently when worn.
The earphones weigh only 5.1 grams, so you'll hardly feel any heaviness when wearing them.
Connection – Latency
Despite being affordable true wireless earphones, UGreen HiTune X5 still comes with the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology. The connection is stable and almost never drops. Additionally, these earphones have quite good synchronization, with negligible latency when watching YouTube videos. When gaming, you should activate Game Mode for the most ideal latency.
Sound Quality
The sound of UGreen HiTune X5 is dynamic V-Shape, which will satisfy most enthusiasts of EDM and modern Pop music. Its bass is powerful, with deep and impactful sub-bass. This is thanks to UGreen's Superbass Enhancement technology.
The midrange of HiTune X5 is clean, not overshadowed by the low end. The highs are bright and clear. Its soundstage is surprisingly good for a pair of budget true wireless earphones, very wide and with clear instrument separation.
Another noteworthy point about HiTune X5 is its support for aptX audio codec, which is rare in wireless earphones at this price range. Overall, HiTune X5 delivers pleasant, easy-to-listen sound, suitable for all music genres, leaving you satisfied with its performance.
Microphone
The microphone on UGreen HiTune X5 is quite good. Voices sound clear and have depth. When there is ambient noise, UGreen HiTune X5 can effectively eliminate it, but it also hinders voice pickup. The microphone performs best in quieter environments.
Conclusion
UGreen HiTune X5 earphones are priced at only 850,000 VND, making them a highly appealing pair of true wireless earphones. They offer standard battery life, energetic V-shape sound, comfortable wearing, and even a gaming mode. Truly a steal!
